A horse that runs much better than a ford.

Yeah, I think of the exploding automobile Ford produced in the 1970’s. Then I think of beans, horses, and a really bitchin radio show into whose chatroom I cannot get. Oh wait, that is what comes to mind when I think of @Blondesjon.

That ugly car from the 70’s

I think of the car.

My parents had one when I was little. We used to live on a farm and we had a very long driveway. And there were two large gates that needed to be opened and closed each time we left or came. I was about 6 years old and closed the fence a bit to early. It caught the bumper thim my mow was driving ind ripped the bumper halfway off.

I was terrified. Luckily my mom thought it was kinda funny.

Mom mom told my dad that she hit a fence post so I would get in trouble. And she ended up getting a fancy new car.

Urban Dictionary: Pinto

I personally think it sounds like a car, but it has some rude meanings according to Urban Dictionary. :p

First I think of the coat of a pinto horse (although after googling I realize that what I thought was pinto is actually dapple… whoops) and then pinto beans. There’s a kind of car called a pinto??

An old song “Ride on, pinto, ride on!” Kind of a sad cowboy tune.

btw, beans and horses can be a dangerous mix

Beans, horse, car. In that order. I guess Animal House should be in there too, but it wasn’t… what can I say?

75movies's avatar

Beans, beans, the magical fruit
The more you eat the more you toot
The more you toot the better you feel
So eat your beans with every meal

ccrow's avatar

@75movies I learned that with the last line ‘Now you’re ready for another meal’!

Beans…. then my brother

JLeslie's avatar

@azlotto I just have to ask..what prompted you to ask this question?

Supacase's avatar

The car. My dad had one and I would sleep in the backseat on the way to his house for visitation. At age 5, I took up most of the back seat when I laid down.

barbiedoll's avatar

The car. My brother used his until it had no more pieces to use. He carried his tools in the pinto, and when it broke down, as it was noted for doing, he fixed it and moved on. I think he got a kick out of it.

First beans and then the car. I shared a Ford Pinto with my dad. I loved that car. It was a manual transmission. He drove it to work and back during the day and I would drive it at night to work and for running around with my friends. I had a lot of fun in that car!! It was little and easy to maneuver. Much better than the huge boat my mom drove.

@pjanaway – I learned something new today because of your answer. I would never have thought to look up the word pinto in the urban dictionary.

pjanaway's avatar

@dani6119 – I check out most strange words I see on urban dictionary. :p

aprilsimnel's avatar

I read that first definition at urban dictionary, and my initial impulse was WTF? Let me find that f@#&ing asshole dude so I can cut off his pinto. I just know it was some dude. I mean, seriously. It’s 2009.

And then I took a deep breath and let it go.
